Review
Run Lola Run is the story of a punkie, tough German girl who frantically runs through town to save her boyfriend’s life.
Run Lola Run has an unconventional format. The film is actually made up of three short films that tell different versions of the same story. The interesting thing is how each plot is substantially different due to minor delays caused by three variations of a simple encounter on a staircase.
With delays as little as one second, the director shows us how the simplest events (such as bumping into a person on the street) can radically alter people’s lives.
Be warned that Run Lola Run is in German, but you should easily be able to locate a copy with dubbed English. The dubbed dialog is distracting, but it should not discourage you from watching this original and exciting film.
